WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest men's basketball returns to LJVM Coliseum this weekend to host Stanford in the program's 12th ACC game of the regular season.
Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. and the matchup will air nationally on the ACC Network.
Last Time Out
Fueled by a team-wide effort with 13 threes on 46 percent shooting from behind the three-point arc, the Demon Deacons defeated Georgia Tech by a final of 83-67 on Wednesday evening at McCamish Pavilion.
Four Deacs reached double figures against the Yellow Jackets, led by sophomore guard Juke Harris' 23 points on 9-of-18 shooting. The Salisbury, N.C., native also recorded a career-high 13 rebounds to give him his second-consecutive double-double, as well as three assists.
Senior guard Mekhi Mason had one of his best offensive performances of the season, finishing the game with 17 points off the bench while going 5-of-7 from the field, including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. The Gilbert, Ariz., native also logged four assists, two rebounds, a block and a steal.
Senior forward Tre'Von Spillers added 13 points on an efficient 5-of-7 shooting performance, while also recording four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal. Meanwhile, junior forward Cooper Schwieger totaled a season-best 13 points to go along with three rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block.
With the victory, Steve Forbes earned his 400th career win as head coach (Division I and Junior College levels).
